Asia is the largest continent in the world. Five out of the top ten
high performing economies in the Programme for International
Student Assessment (PISA) 2018 are located in Asia. Why do Asian
students perform so well in STEM-related subjects? This book
answers this by examining the STEM education policies and
initiatives in Asian economies, as well as the training programmes
undertaken by STEM teachers in Asia. The book is broken into four
sections, each accompanied by a passage of commentary that
summarizes the key takeaways of the chapters. Section one focuses
on STEM policy environments and how various countries have
developed policies that promote STEM as an integral part of
national economic development. Section two focuses on STEM teacher
education in the Philippines and Thailand, while section three
focuses on STEM curriculum design, context, and challenges in four
Asian economies. The fourth and final section focuses on presenting
snapshots of STEM education research efforts in Malaysia, South
Korea, and Singapore. Written by Asian academics, this book will
provide valuable insights to policy makers, educators, and
researchers interested in the topic of STEM education, especially
in the Asian context. Chapters 7 and 11 of this book are freely
available as a downloadable Open Access PDF under a Creative
